Transitioning to ministry scheduling software is a great way to save time, eliminate data entry work and increase volunteer accountability. These benefits, however, assume that volunteers actually use the system. The video tutorials, combined with the Web Terminal’s user-friendly design, will ensure volunteers are successful going online for the first time and feel comfortable coming back.

Last week’s release of Ministry Scheduler Pro 6.0 completed the transition to a cloud-based scheduling model. This new version takes a bold step into the future of online scheduling by combining the speed and flexibility of traditional installed software with the benefits of web based software, like simultaneous, multi-user access. Now all your ministry leads can be inside MSP at the same time!

“Christmas came a little early this year,” says David Beck, founder and CEO of Rotunda Software. “We’re thrilled to offer our clients ministry software that uses the latest technology available at the same low price.”

Additional features included in Ministry Scheduler Pro 6 are speed gains of up to 50%, increased volunteer privacy options and 50% cheaper text messages. Based on the feedback, schedulers are thrilled with the new additions. By leveraging cutting-edge technology to make the program easily accessible and reliable, Rotunda is signaling its commitment to serving large organizations that depend on scheduling software to manage their volunteer base.

MSP 6.0 can be downloaded immediately and the best part of all: it’s free to all licensed MSP users!

The new version of MSP points to a new executable file, different than the previous version of the software. Any shortcuts or icons that had been made manually, such as pinning the icon to the task bar, will be linked to the old executable file and no longer work. First, you will want to delete the old shortcuts. Then from the Start menu locate the MSP program and right-click to pin to your start menu again or make a new shortcut.

NOTE: Shortcuts on desktops that are automatically made by MSP will not have a problem. If a shortcut leads to a dead end, follow the above procedure to re-create your shortcut.
